I love watching that guy shoot. He’s brilliant with an SKS.

I mean, I get what dev mean. But nerf is kinda to much. Up them by 60 rpm and I’m good with that.

Not everyone in WW2 are Jerry Miculek after all

Look the devs do whatever they do, I havent experienced but Im not a fan of “auto” anything or any kind of PC exploits. I dont see how this update is worth all the complaining, except to point out the uselessness of it. I am on PS4, I have aim assist off, I play against PC players, Ive only had this a week, I am performing wonderfully with semi autos. I should be the first person to be whining about anything.

It would just be nice if the dev would not insult our intelligence in the future by trying to appeal to Realism when they dont seem to have a solid grasp of real world gun usage.

This update just forced reduced fire rate for semi auto at longer ranges (which any good player did before to actually hit), while also making them useless in cqc.
Most semi autos need 2 shoots to down enemy, so even bolt actions are better now at clearing building which is extra stupid.
If this trends continues, i expect a bolt action nerf coming soon, together with auto aim spread for smg and mg

I mean, they said on a Russian part of the forum that the practical (aimed shots) rate of fire of semi auto rifles chambered in rifle cartridges is about 300 rpm.

So they changed it to 200 stock and 220 fully upgraded.

I mean, why that low? Just why?

Personally, I’ll be ok with this update if they make select fire rifles have the same rate of fire in semi automatic as the regular semi autos do.

Semi-autos are still really good. They just fail at the CQB game.

The problem is there is now no reason to use Semi autos as bolt actions are now objectively superior in every way… When in reality its supposed to be the other way around.

Semi auto’s should be able to be fired at distant targets relatively effectively but spammed at close range targets because the calling card of semi auto rifles is versatility at both close range and distance something it no longer has.

I have basically swapped all my semi autos out for Lee Enfield’s because they are only slightly slower firing than the semi auto rifles and hit much harder at a much greater distance now…

No they are meh at best and horrible at worst because now you just use bolt actions for every situation as they kill in 1 hit in CQB and kill (most of the time) in 1 hit at range. The nerf is so bad that fully upgraded bolt actions feel like they fire just as fast if not faster than semi auto’s.
